Understanding Autonolas, the $2B autonomous agent network running on blockchain, with Valory CEO David Minarsch

Lex chats with David Minarsch, co-founder and CEO of Valory - a
team focused on providing research, products, and services at the
intersection of multi-agent systems (MAS) and distributed ledger
technology (DLT), one of them being Autonolas - a platform that
offers an open-source software stack and an on-chain protocol,
facilitating secure operations and incentivizing autonomous
application development. In this episode, David discusses the
intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and crypto networks.
He explains that Valory is focused on building autonomous systems
that connect to blockchain networks. David highlights the
importance of AI agents in the future, as they can specialize in
different roles and provide valuable services. He also discusses
the launch of the Autonolas protocol on Gnosis chain, which
allows for the creation of prediction markets and the
coordination of autonomous services. David believes that
autonomous agents will become the primary daily active users of
crypto, providing a new user experience and abstraction for
humans.
